BRAVE Combat Federation’s 72nd event has a strong presence of IMMAF alumni, with three historic athletes either making their pro debuts or moving to the next level in their professional careers. IMMAF president Mr. Kerrith Brown arrived in the Kingdom of Bahrain ahead of BRAVE CF 72 and will be in attendance for what is a historic moment for both organizations. Mr Brown will watch and support the likes of Muhammad Idrisov, Rasul Magomedov, Eliezer Kubanza, and Mohammed Alsameea in action this Friday, June 23.
Muhammad Idrisov is the most experienced pro athlete from the trio, with a perfect professional record of eight wins in as many fights. Idrisov is a 2019 European champion under IMMAF, and has also won a silver medal in the 2018 IMMAF World Championship.
He is joined in the BRAVE CF 72 fight card by two pro debutants. Rasul Magomedov, the number one Heavyweight in IMMAF, makes his pro debut in Light Heavyweight, following a highly successful and undefeated amateur career. Magomedov, who once beat wrestling legend Kyle Snyder prior to transitioning to MMA, has two IMMAF World Championships, as well as a MMA World Cup gold medal and a European Championship gold medal.
Eliezer Kubanza is widely known as only one of two men to defeat the best amateur fighter of all time, Ramazan Gitinov, in IMMAF competitions. He will make his BRAVE CF debut in the Super Welterweight division against Rayan Atmani, and is currently a 3-0 undefeated pro athlete. Kubanza will also become the first fighter from DR Congo to fight for BRAVE CF, making DR Congo the 82nd nation represented in the BRAVE CF arena.
Mohammed Alsameea kicks off the fight card in his pro debut, with a lot of expectation around his name – ‘’Zuhair’’ is one of the biggest young stars coming out of the Kingdom of Bahrain, and a world silver medalist in 2021. He has fought in BRAVE CF as an amateur before and will look to make an even greater splash when he arrives in the professional Flyweight division.
BRAVE CF 72 takes place at the National Stadium, in Riffa, Bahrain, on June 23, and is headlined by a world title fight, as champion Roman Bogatov defends his title against KO machine and number one contender Nemat Abdrashitov. In total, BRAVE CF 72 features eight bouts with 11 nations represented.
